The transition to the ICD-10 coding system will go into effect on October 1, 2015.
ICD-10 is the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases.
Required ICD-10 Online Training Modules
As part of preparation efforts, all Duke Medicine providers will be required to complete specialty-specific ICD-10 online training modules by September 15, 2015.
The modules are tailored to your specialty and intended to help you prepare for ICD-10 by learning relevant changes in coding and documentation.
- The number of assigned modules per provider will vary based on the scope of your clinical services and the magnitude of impact ICD-10 will have on your specialty.
- These modules are different from the optional modules we made available in early June that included an introduction to ICD-10 and Maestro Care tools (Titled: ICD-10 Provider Overview and ICD-10 Provider Maestro Care Tools).
- These two modules are highly recommended if you did not attend one of the introductory sessions during your faculty meeting.
To access and complete the required ICD-10 online training modules, sign into the Duke Learning Management System with your Duke NetID. Click here for instructions on how to access the online training modules.
Changes to Maestro Care
To help prepare for the transition to ICD-10, Maestro Care now displays ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes side-by-side for encounter diagnosis or problem list diagnosis selection. This change in Maestro Care allows you to begin to see and learn the new ICD-10 code equivalents.
Other changes to the system will include the addition of more Diagnosis Calculators and a new “Change Dx” button in the problem list section, which will quickly change a nonspecific code to a more specific choice. Click here to learn more and see screen shots from the system.
We wanted to inform you of two important new developments designed to help educate and equip you for ICD-10 – one related to ICD-10 training requirements for providers and the other regarding changes to Maestro Care.
